"And God said "Love Your Enemy", and I obeyed Him and loved myself." - Gibran Khalil
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The Levant (and the adjacent Middle East) is an especially important place spiritually -- there are strong principalities over that area that have been ruling for thousands of years. Most of the important ruling empires were over that area:
Assyria
Babylonia
Alexander's Greek Empire
Seleucid Empire
Parthian Empire
Sassanid Empire
Rashidun Caliphate
Ummayad Caliphate
Byzantine Empire
Ottoman Empire
... not to mention Ancient Israel and all the religions deriving from it.
This area is the most stubborn area in the world with regards to Christianization, despite the fact that Christianity originated there. It is the most resistant to the Gospel in the entire world.
One can only imagine what future lies ahead for the region... if you take into account so many Biblical prophecies.
Ultimately, it will be Christianized, of course. At least when Jesus returns.
